Video Game Jounalism missed the step to professional, independent work. Either by work ethic or by an industry playing the consumer and being outside of legislatives eye.

Like how can a honest, self-paying journalist compete in marketing and access to sources, when companies can blacklist them and at the same time allow exclusive time and content access to willful pawns? - and google and consumers support it.
